Here's a breakdown:
* Birth: Chow Chow puppies have a soft, downy coat.
* First few months: Their coat starts to thicken and get longer.
* Around 6-8 months: Their coat reaches its full length and density.
So, while they may be born with a fluffy coat, it's not the same as the long, majestic coat that Chow Chows are known for.
